Claire Barnes

Happy Birthday in heaven!

Happy Birthday Nana!!! I miss you so much. I miss our talks and laughs.

Merry Christmas mom, I miss you very much. Words can't describe the pain I feel now that you are gone, but now that you are gone you can't feel any more pain. I love you (((HUGS)))

We just had our first mayor holiday without you. It will never be the same, and to say you are missed is an understatement. I made sure to eat 15 "slivers" of dessert just for you. We love you so much!

Our deepest condolences to each of you that are part of Claire's family and life. Although we have not seen Claire these past years I have fond memories of visiting with her and her brother, Michael. Claire and my mother , Susan Johnson, were 1st cousins . Take care and remember the time you had together . With deepest sympathy , Stephanie McGann and the Johnson Family .

Your heart soon will be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Nana, you showed me a love like no other , I´m glad you are not in pain anymore your suffering has ended & you can be at peace . I remember being so little & you would always take me out to eat ,build a bear , the park , the pool you were always active with us. I always said that I wanted you to be around to meet my daughter & I´m so happy that was able to happen . Words can´t describe how lost I feel without you how I can´t pick up the phone to talk to you , I have so many voice mails saved I´ll hold on to them forever

Mom, I miss you so much my heart aches you took care of me when I was going through cancer even though you didn´t feel too well yourself, no matter what I had to say ,,,,you were always comforting. I miss your phone calls and the I love you´s at the end of each call. Mom, you were there for my first breath and I was there for your last breath holding you. I will always cherish all the moments we shared together at family gatherings with all of us laughing together.

Claire and I met at Mansfield Beauty Academy where we both were studying to be hairdressers. We became instant friends. Claire was like a sister to me in many ways. Rest in peace sweetie until we meet again. Love, Maryellen

My little Nana, my heart aches from losing you, you were always my biggest fan and no matter what turn of events happened in life you always were by my side because you understood me like no one else. The only thing that gives me comfort is knowing you are with your Dad, Uncle Mike and Roberta, the cats too, Sylvester and Shadow. The memories I have with you are endless and I will cherish them forever.
